Below expectations, more time is spent on the presenter and less on the car.
Could have done a voice over while the camera was on the car.
Poor quality , and even when the car was being driven we are seeing the camera showing the presenter’s ugly face and not the beautiful Ferrari.

That last scene gave me goosebumps.

Maybe it’s because I had a model of one of these as a kid and a beautiful poster of a part cutaway 308 GTB on my wall but for me this is Ferrari perfection. I could watch this all day and if I only had enough cash I would certainly drive one all day as well. Bellissimo!

A real gentleman & one of the most iconic super cars 0f the ’80s. It still amazes me the front museto with the double fog lights and the rear view mirrors way ahead of their time in design.

Fact: There is a no better car related commentator/host/presenter than A de C.
And this wonderful film is the closest thing we’ve had since Alain’s brilliant
Victory by Design series…. which is required learning for any serious motorista…
well done.
Thx- Kurt

This was a great choice as a first video (for me anyways) to watch as a member now!
I agree it would be great to see them a little longer. I’m impressed the owner let it out to play on that day. The ending scene was amazing!
Keep that level up Gang!
Great work

I love how it ends with the fading and echoing exhaust note. Fitting

Love the videos so far, just a couple of thoughts… It would be nice to see the membership videos in 4K like some of the mainstream videos. Also, the content of the videos is excellent and I echo what others have said too, would love to see these videos hit the 15-20 minute mark.

Great video, glad to see Alain as the host. I would like these membership video’s to be a little longer though, maybe around 20 minutes or so.

I appreciate this was shot in poor weather conditions but the colour grading in this film is terrible. The GTO looks almost purple and not the Rosso Corsa it should be. shame because otherwise it’s a very good film.

Isnt this car rosso scuderia? That’s why it’s so cool in color temp.

Rosso Scuderia was not introduced until the mid 1990’s

Sorry to bring this here, but as I am getting 0 response to emails, I don’t know where else to go. I have sent a number of emails to petrolicious (member/info/founder email addresses) to ask about my membership and how I can get a ticket to Bicester, to which I have had not a single response, or even acknowledgement. Nice videos and all, but I’m starting to wonder where my membership went, and was it worth it!

Thanks Dalton, but the issue was that I hadn’t received an email with a code, and petrolicious hadn’t responded to my emails, which they have told me they didn’t receive.
Anyway, it’s all sorted now, they contacted me and I have the code.
